Michael holds a BA in Biology with a minor in Philosophy. He likes to spend his free time hiking and defending science, though not usually at the same time. Contrary to popular (but not scientific) belief, the positive and appropriate perception of science is undermined by religion, alternative medicine, the U.S. education system, and most science journalists.

I can’t believe Carlos Mencia, aka Ned Holness, aka joke stealer extraordinaire, keeps getting specials on Comedy Central. The guy isn’t funny at all. Not at all. He doesn’t deserve a single bit of the success he has ever had. And I don’t just mean his success in the comedy world. If he has ever won his dollar back on a scratch-off ticket or if he has ever found the best non-handicap parking space at Wal-Mart or if he has not been punched straight in his stupid face, he hasn’t deserved it. He is an utter failure of a human being and the world would be a better place without him.
